Astrology of the Day – Moon in Capricorn – Monday 12th March 2018

Moon in Capricorn - Cutting our cloth accordingly

This is another day with the Moon in Capricorn, well for majority of the day at least. Today we go into the working week with a practical and dutiful attitude, ready to work hard and fulfil our ambitions. We will be able to prioritise and work out what are the most important tasks to get on with first, and if we find that we are having trouble we will soldier on bravely without asking for help. There will be little to no extravagance in our needs and desires now, and we will concentrate just on what we require, rather then anything that seems a luxury or beyond our means. Today we cut our cloth according to our needs.

Now the Moon makes a conjunction to Pluto early on today, and we will feel a quiet intensity and a desire to react by expressing our control of any situation. We could come across as pushy, obsessive or jealous depending on the situation, and we may either inspire others who have confidence in our judgement or abilities or stir up hostility in those who see us as a rival. Luckily, at the same time we will have our emotions in sync with our actions as the Moon will be making a sextile to the Sun at the same time, thus we look as if we know exactly what we are doing. We will be able to carry out everything with a smile on our faces and with confidence in our hearts as the Moon also makes a vibrant sextile to Jupiter too. This morning we will be able to achieve pretty much whatever we desire through the use of charm of this aspect allied to the the authority of the Capricorn Moon.

Into the afternoon and the mood becomes less predictable, as the Moon makes a square to Uranus. We could suddenly react to situations without being prompted, and we may become bored more easily than we were in the morning. Be careful not to enact any changes into your life now, as they may be done in haste and without thinking things through properly. Remember that short term alterations may be exciting for the moment, but they rarely last or aid you in the longer term. The Moon follows on to make a sextile to Chiron, and we can alleviate any upset or find the right words, actions or emotional responses to settle ourselves and others around us.

As the day comes to a close, the Moon moves into Aquarius and we take on a more logical and sceptical mood. We will start to question all that we are challenged by, and follow the course of actions that we know to be right. This is a day to take the attitude that it's better to be safe than sorry, and whatever chances we take will be calculated to benefit us rather than taken on a whim of fancy...
